In September, Tony Kitous (Levant and Levantine) is opening Kenza, which means treasure in Arabic, in the City's Devonshire Square (10 Cutlers Garden Arcade). Chef Jad Youssef will offer a menu of North African sharing dishes, and will serve Moroccan-style afternoon tea and cocktails. As with Kitous' other restaurants, it will feature belly dancers in the evening.
Mayfair's The Grosvenor House (Park Lane) is currently undergoing a major refurbishment and when it reopens, there will be two new eateries: a French brasserie coming in October headed up by Ollie Couillaud (ex Tom’s Kitchen) and a smart meat-and-game restaurant courtesy of Richard Corrigan (Richard Corrigan at the Lindsay House and Bentley’s) opening early next year in the former Chez Nico space.
